Swede Roy Andersson's absurdist fable is a blackly comic treat, by turns hilarious and heartbreaking. From the dour dreams of a man who is condemned to death for performing the old tablecloth-pulling trick at a lavish dinner party to magical visions of a rock star and his bride watching the world pass quite literally by their window, You, the Living evokes the ghosts of Samuel Beckett and Spike Milligan with effortlessly orchestrated flair. Extras include a silent montage of barely behind-the-scenes footage that hints at the artful construction of each painterly tableaux and an assortment of extracts from Andersson's previous work.

Roland Independence Day Emmerich's derivative prehistoric romp starts out as an FX-laden update of One Million Years B.C., then swiftly downshifts into family-friendly Apocalypto-lite via Quest for Fire territory, before flirting briefly with von Dänikenesque Stargate silliness, and finally winding up with an agrarian revolution. En route, our heroes face wobbly CGI sabre-toothed tigers, woolly mammoths and, most implausibly, terror birds that resemble nothing more than giant emus. Despite the preindustrial hardships of their age, all the leads have fantastic dental work and seem to shop at Monsoon. Amazing, then, that the film is so boring. Mark Kermode

Screen Icons: Gérard Depardieu1979-94, 15, Optimum 32.50

This set comprises four very different films featuring the prolific Depardieu. Two are lightweight: the clever black comedy Buffet Froid (1979) in which hes joined by veterans Jean Carmet and Bernard Blier, and the romantic comedy Mon père, ce héros (1991), which he remade in Hollywood. The others are distinguished costume films in which he gives truly substantial performances. In Alain Corneau's moving, subtly erotic Tous les matins du monde (1991), Depardieu and his son Guillaume play the older and younger versions of the 17th-century baroque musician Marin Marais, and its as good as Amadeus. Less well known is cinematographer Yves Angelo's directorial debut, Le Colonel Chabert (1994), adapted from Balzac's novella about a Napoleonic cavalry officer returning from the dead to reclaim his name, wife and fortune in a transformed 1817 Paris. Fabrice Luchini is riveting as the colonels lawyer. Phillip French
